It’s been over 20 years since Chris Kennedy and George McDuff founded ChamSys (short for Chameleon Systems) in 2003. Flying Pig Systems had recently launched the Wholehog 3, leaving a void in the market where the Wholehog 2 had been. If you knew how to program a Hog 2, you could likely program the MagicQ MQ100.


Over the years, the MagicQ has grown into a powerful platform with all the features you would expect from a major league player. And now comes something completely different.

The ChamSys QuickQ is touted as an affordable lighting console that is easy for inexperienced users to program and operate. It comes in three sizes: QuickQ 10, QuickQ 20, and QuickQ 30. The main difference is the number of faders, playbacks, encoders, and DMX universes. All of them have a 9.7" multitouch touchscreen, but what they don’t have is possibly more revealing: a numeric keypad. I think every other console I have ever seen has the keypad with the familiar syntax [channel X thru Y @ Full]. But this console’s unique approach probably has more in common with a smartphone than oldschool lighting consoles.
